Brief summary
The aim of this study is to investigate the use of Edi in patients under the endotracheal tube and tracheostomy, and analysis of cardiopulmonary parameters in adult patients.
Detailed description
Tracheostomy is a utilitarian surgical procedure of access; therefore, it should be discussed in light of the problem it addresses: access to the tracheobronchial tree. The trachea is a conduit between the upper airway and the lungs that delivers moist warm air and expels carbon dioxide and sputum. Failure or blockage at any point along that conduit can be most readily corrected with the provision of access for mechanical ventilators and suction equipment. In the case of upper airway obstruction, tracheostomy provides a path of low resistance for air exchange.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The electrical activity of the diaphragm (Edi) | one year | Edi is the primary requirement for NAVA to function and the main source for ventilator trigger. This study will find the difference of data of Edi after surgery |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Cardiopulmonary function parameters | one year | heart rate (HR) |
